Information

Iyis pir, located on a hill (200 m) in an area called Pir Chinare in the village of Alidarasi, according to the villagers and residents of the surrounding area, was con­sidered one of the sacred places. Along with ancient settlements, large pla­ne trees grew here, more than 500 years old 34. Iyis pir was one of the most po­pular pir visited by residents of the village and region.

The fact that such sacred and spiritual monu­ments as Iyis Pir are located in regions whe­re important his­torical events and culture we­re formed is a sign that the Azerbaijani po­pulation went through a long historical period here.
